Description

This beautifully restored Hampton Court home retains all the classic details that make prewar apartments so appealing. The 1100 sq. ft. unit is located a half-level above the sidewalk for privacy and convenience. You enter a foyer, large enough for a desk and chair; to the right is the spacious living room, measuring 14’x17’. From the living room a six-foot-wide opening, framed with crisp moldings, leads you to the 12’x17’ formal dining room. Both rooms have west-facing triple windows that measure roughly 6’ x 6’. The living room has a large new window AC unit (included) purchased in Jun 2026 and a ceiling fan with wood blades.
The hall leads you to the kitchen with stone counters, tile floor and backsplash, and generous storage space. The built-in pantry and all the lower cabinets in the kitchen have pull out drawers. The gas double oven has a full-size oven below the stovetop and a smaller oven above. The refrigerator was purchased in July 2026.
Beyond the kitchen are two bedrooms and full bath. The larger bedroom has a large west-facing window, while the other has two windows that face Hampton Court’s verdant interior garden. The bedroom that faces the garden comes with 2” premium wood blinds, an Elfa storage system in the closet, and an AC window unit. Both bedrooms have ceiling fans. The two hall closets also have the Elfa metal storage system.
Fully renovated, the bathroom has subway tile walls with mosaic slate tile floors, and solid slate trim around the windows, the tub front, and above the tiles. The bathroom window also features a marble jamb detail. Fixtures include a Duravit sink, Toto toilet, and a deep Toto tub. The tub is a large soaking tub approximately 15” deep. The custom shower doors feature the ultra-clear Starphire glass for high clarity.
The apartment’s prewar details include nine-foot ceilings, plaster walls, wood moldings and picture rails, coved ceilings in the living and dining rooms, oak strip floors, and gorgeous stripped and refinished walnut doors throughout.
